I’ll bump up this old thread.
I ended up finding someone on kijiji selling beaver and muskrat pelts for cheap. Some lady in Calgary and they had bought them years ago for some reason and not done anything with them. Cheap, like $10 a muskrat and something like 50-70 for a beaver pelt. Made some gloves with them, they turned out great and now I’m wanting to do some more.
If anyone around calgary has tanned muskrat I’d be interested, send me a PM.
Also thinking about coyote or fox around a couple hoods on jackets. I know I can get them for like $150 or whatever in the city, I’d be looking for something about half that in price, doesn’t need to be big or fancy, fine with some holes blown in it as I’ll be cutting it up.
Some pics of them almost finished.
